Bravissimo

I am having terrible difficulty in finding a bra that feels comfortable. Have tried all major high street stores And nothing!

Is bravissimo worth a try? Or any other suggestions? I'm desperate! I'm a 38 DD or there abouts!

Ginger - Bravissimo in Oxford were great. They took DD1 out of her 38A bra that M & S had sold her and put her in a 32 F. (No, I don't know how M & S had got it so wrong either, she's tiny.) Instead of looking like she has a spare tyre in the wrong place, she now looks like she has boobs and a great figure.

I think your right. Can't find my proper tape measure so best I can do for now!

Really appreciate all your help. Have an appt next sat

I travel to the nearest city about an hour away to get measured at bravissimo and have done for years. I was wearing a 36DD before I went. I'm now a 38GG. Definitely worth it.

Really great to hear Oxford were good, I'm really hopeful they can sort me out!

No problem. If the measurements are as I suspect you will probably be somewhere around a 34G or 32GG/H ish. I'm a 14-16 in reality (my norks are a 22 if you ask size charts!) and wear a 30HH

You could just not warn your fiancee in advance - new bras look soooooo much better!

He knows already, in fact he was the one to push me into getting sorted as was sick of me moaning!

Ill let you all know how I get on.

I can highly recommend Bravissimo, I've never looked back since I gave myself a kick to make the effort to take the time to get properly measured.

The bras aren't cheap but definitely worth it imo

I was fitted in the one in Reading and it was fab! If you buy more than one bra from them do get the fitter to fit all of them so that they can get the straps just right!

I've just had to loosen mine to deal with some sunburn on holiday, but made sure I measured what the tightness should be so I can out I back when I can deal with the snugness that they should be! I ended up a 38G when I was wearing a 48C!!!

I love Bravissimo! I was wearing 38DD, and they said I was 34GG! I had never worn a bra before where the front of the bra touched my ribcage between my boobs. Everyone thought I lost 10 lbs! It was a bit uncomfortable for the first week or two though, while I got used to it.

So I went today and measured as a 38 E! The assistant was FAB and so patience. I finally have a bra!
